WARNING:
IMPORTANT - L.P. MODELS.
Before Lighting...
Inspect the gas supply piping or hose
prior to turning the gas “on”. If there is
evidence of cuts, wear, or abrasion, it
must be replaced prior to use. Do not
use the Grill if the odor of gas is pre-
sent. The pressure regulator and hose
assembly supplied with the unit must
be used. Never substitute regulators
for those supplied with the grill. If a
replacement is necessary, contact the
factory for proper replacement.
Screw the regulator (Type QCC1) into
the tank. Leak check the hose and
regulator connections with a soap
and water solution before operating
the Grill.
ALL MODELS.
To Light Grill Burners:
Turn all knobs to “off” then turn on the
gas supply. Always keep your face
and body as far away from the grill
as possible when lighting.
Open the lid, depress the igniter but-
ton, then push and turn the right hand
control knob to the “HI” position. You’ll
hear a snapping sound. At the same
time a spark will be provided at the
right hand grill burner. It will be
necessary to keep the igniter button
depressed until the burner is lit.
If the burner does not light in 4 sec-
onds, turn knobs to “off” and wait 5
minutes before trying again, to allow
any accumulated gas to dissipate. If
the burner will not light after several
attempts then it can be match lit.
Keep your face as far away from the
grill as possible and pass a lit, long
stem match through the grilling grid
to the burner you are trying to light. If
attempting to light the right burner first,
ensure that only the right burner control
knob is used.
Position the match near the burner
ports. Push and turn the control knob
to “HI”. Repeat procedure on the
center and left burner if necessary. If
the burner does not light in 4 seconds
turn the knob off, wait 5 minutes and
try again. If the burner will not light
after several attempts see Page 13:
Troubleshooting.
Repeat the above procedure for each
grill burner.
LOW HEAT ADJUSTMENT
THE LOW HEAT SETTING ON
YOUR GRILL IS PRESET AT THE
FACTORY. ADJUST ONLY IF ALTITUDE
OR ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS
ARE CAUSING POOR LOW HEAT
PERFORMANCE.
NEVER ADJUST THE BURNER SO
LOW THAT IT MAY GO OUT DURING
USE. DO NOT OPERATE GRILL WITH
LOW HEAT SCREW REMOVED.
1. Follow lighting instructions and
allow grill to fully preheat for 3 minutes.
2. Turn the control knob to LOW and
wait for the burner temperature to drop
and stabilize. Attempting adjustment at
any setting other than LOW can create
a dangerous condition.
3. Remove the knob by pulling straight
away from control panel (see Fig. 5).
4. Insert a small (3/32” dia.) blade
screwdriver into the valve stem. Turn
counter-clockwise to increase low heat,
clockwise to reduce low heat.
5. Once proper adjustment is reached,
reattach knob by pushing onto stem.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO
LIGHT THE GRILL IF THE
ODOR OF GAS IS PRES-
ENT. CALL FOR SERVICE.

Optional Accessories
BBQ TRAY:
This optional accessory serves a dual
purpose. First, it will catch drippings
and help prevent flare-ups when cook-
ing particularly juicy foods, either on
the grill or the rotisserie. Second, it will
serve as a heat diffuser when grilling
delicate foods such as flaky fishes. To
use the BBQ Tray, follow these instruc-
tions:
1. Remove one of the V-grate grilling
grids and place the BBQ Tray into the
grill, suspending it from front to back as
shown in Figure 9. The BBQ Tray can
be used in place of any V-grate.
2. Partially fill the BBQ Tray with
water, wine or other non-flammable,
non-sugary liquid. Liquid level should
be maintained throughout the cooking
process to prevent burning or damage
to the BBQ Tray. Be careful not to spill
liquid onto the burner.
3. If desired, replace the V-grate over
the BBQ Tray.
4. Light and pre-heat the grill according
to the instructions on page 9. Never
set the control knobs higher than the
“
*
” position when using the tray.
Allow the grill to cool completely before
attempting to remove the BBQ Tray.
USE CAUTION WHEN ADDING
LIQUID TO BBQ TRAY TO
ENSURE NOTHING SPILLS ONTO
BURNER. DAMAGE WILL RESULT,
AND IS NOT COVERED BY YOUR
WARRANTY.

GRIDDLE:
1. Remove one of the V-grate grilling
grids as shown in Figure 10. The
griddle can be used on either the
right or left side.
2. Place the Griddle onto the grill,
making sure that the open side faces
to the front of the grill.
3. Light grill and preheat according to
the instructions on page 9.
Solaire recommends that the griddle
not be used on heat settings above
“
*
”, unless extreme high heat is
desired (such as for blackening foods).
Your grill, set to HI, will produce a
much hotter cooking surface than is
attainable on most household ranges.
Although the griddle surface is stainless
steel, oil, margarine or butter should
be used to prevent food from sticking.
A light coat of oil after cleaning will
help keep your griddle looking new.
YOUR GRIDDLE FEATURES A
GREASE TRAP FOR BETTER
PERFORMANCE. HOWEVER,
WHEN FRYING EXTREMELY
GREASY FOODS, OR LARGE
QUANTITIES OF FOOD, IT IS
POSSIBLE FOR THE GREASE
TRAP TO FILL, CREATING A
POTENTIALLY HAZARDOUS
SITUATION. IF, WHILE COOKING,
THE TRAP FILLS MORE THAN
HALFWAY, TURN OFF THE
BURNER, ALLOW GRIDDLE TO
COOL, AND CLEAN BEFORE
CONTINUING.
